Windsor Meat Soup
8 servings
135 minutes
Windsor meat soup is a refined dish of European cuisine infused with the spirit of aristocratic England. This rich and aromatic soup, presumably popular in Windsor, combines beef and lamb sautéed in butter and simmered in a spiced broth. The addition of vegetables, herbs, and spices adds depth to the flavor, while tender rice and a splash of Madeira provide a subtle sweetness. The result is a warming, hearty soup with a velvety texture, perfect for cold evenings. It is traditionally served with white bread that complements the taste well. This soup not only satisfies hunger but also transports you to the atmosphere of old European mansions where every meal is an art.
